XhY was II Done?

Seine time since a board of consult
ing engineers recommended the lay
ing of an iron main that should carry
water from Los Feliz Rancho to East
Los Angeles. The iron pipe was laid
across the Los Angeles river and part
way to the Arroyo Seco, through
which an iron pipe was laid to East
Los Angeles. Now it appears that
the iron pipe is to be discarded and q
cement pipe is to be laid from the
Arroyo Seco north to the Highland
Hunter tract to connect with iroI
mains on the north and south.
1t is needless to say that the people
living along the line Of the pipe, who
were led to believe that an iron pres
sure pipe would be laid when they
built their beautiful homes beside it,
and felt themselves fee from fire on
account of the prospective pressure OF
water, are very indignant at this
change of plan, that gives them a
main that will not stand pressure at
all. The cost will be but little
different they say, between the iron
and cement pipe, while the difference
to the people along the line will be
very important.
II is not unlikely that an injunction
will be served on the laying Of the ce'
ment pipe in place of iron. The people
across the river furthermore desire te
know why this proposed and par
TALLY constructed iron main cannot bt
connected with the great elevated site
that the city purchased last year for {
great storage reservoir.
With an iron main and a connection
with this elevated reservoir the thou
sands of people across the river could
almost dispense with fire engines il
the extinguishment of fires. They
desire to know why the change from
iron to cement pipe was made.

Police commissioners.

A meeting of the Board of Police
Commissioners was held yesterday
afternoon at the office of the Chief Of
Police, Mayor Workman presiding.
The resignation of j. L. Baisley as a
member of the police force was ac-
cepted. He was appointed only few
weeks ago, but he has been suffering
from gun shot wound received during
the war, and he was unable to stand
the arduous duties of a patrolman.
Considerable argument was had rela.
tive to the proposed patrol wagon, and
upon the suggestion Of Chief Darcy il
was finally decided to recommend to
the City Council that it purchase the
outfit, including span of horses and
a set of harness. The Board then
adjourned.

MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE.
Exercascs at Armory Hall Ycster
aay Afternoon.

Exercises NJ ArmOry Hail fesser-
aay Afternoon.
Yesterday was q gala day for the
large Mexican population of this city
and their celebration, including exer-
cises at Armory Hall, was extremely
creditable. Early in the day numer-
ous of the Mexican residents of the
surrounding country drove into the
city to take part in the exercises and
to participate in the general festivities
and on this account matters as
sumed a very lively appearance.
Arrnory Hall had been selected for
the literary exercises the hour for
which was set at one o'clock. At that
time there was but very little room
left in the large hall and it was appa-
rent that the proceedings would be
very interesting. Upon the stage
were the officers and speakers of the
day besides number of young ladies
who were prepared to furnish vocal
music suitable to the occasion.
Shortly after one O'Clock the band
played an operatic selection which
was followed by the Mexican National
Hymn, sung by the chorus OF young
ladies. Hon. H. 7. Hazard, Presinent
of the day, delivered the opening ad-
dress, referring to the brave deeds of
the Mexicans in liberating themselves
in complimentary terms, and holding
that the day was as worthy of cele-
bration as the 4th of July is to Ameri-
cans. Upon the conclusion of his
short address he introduced Hon.
r. F. del Vale who spoke
in the Spanish language.
His remarks were received in a
manner which showed them to have
been highly appreciated by the audi
ence, which by this time had filed up
all the available space in the hall. He
was followed by Mr.. Frank Howard,
who also delivered an eloquent ad-
dress. Mr.. and Mrs. Tanning then
rendered Campana's duo, 'Maria e
Rizzio." in their usual excellent man
ner. Sr. A. Orfila gave as recitation
q poem in the Spanish language,
which was we'll received. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tanning and Prof. Arevalo sang
Verdi's trio "Atila." Miss Artemisa
Cruz recited in a charming manner
the Greeting to the Tri-Color Flag"
and was loudly applauded. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tanning sang Glover's duo, 81
Heard Voice." and the exercises
closed with "Only Dreaming" sung
with excellent taste by Miss Virginia
Bouett. The finishing strains of this
song were heard shortly after O'Clock
and the Mexican patriots departed
feeling highly pleased with the success
Of the celebration.

Hospitality Without Grudging.

The writer was once invited to spend a
week in a family where the extra expense
of an additional member was frequent
subject of discussion, greatly to her dis
turbance
'Have the milkman leave an extra pint
because we have company" and ''order
more berries to-day than usual and tell the
grocer we shall want six pounds of butter
this week instead of tive," were among the
orders given by the mistress with extreme
frankness in the presence of her guest,
greatly to the latter's discontinue.
At evening time it was the custom Of
husband and wife to discuss expenditures
and make up accounts, and the excellent
habit was not waived. as it might have
been, till the couple were alone. but every
item was talked over if surprise was ex
pressed at any one charge, the wife would
kindly explain that one must expect
company to add something to the expense.
"You are so much at home with US that
we don't mind you" was frequently said,
as sort of apology for the uncomfortably
candid conversations that took place in
her presence.
But the company did not thoroughly
enjoy her visit and gave herself strict
orders never to let her own future guests
feel that they caused trouble or expense
in her house. True hospitality spares no
pains to make a visitor comfortable, and a
little self-sacrifice to gain that end counts
as nothing in truly cordial, warm-hearted
family.-GOOd Cheer.

Tar in the Chicken House.

1t seems that the value of tar is not
sufficiently appreciated by poultry breed
ers. for we seldom either see it used or its
use advocated BY writers on poultry mat
ters. It can be used. with most excellent
results, in fumigating the poultry house,
when through neglect or inattentien it be-
comes necessary to put through "9uaran-
tine,'' BY burning some of it in suitable
vessel, and then closing the doors and
windows of the house to confine the fumes
and smoke as much as possible. 1t is sure
TO purify the house. Tar is very offensive
to insects which worry the poultry and in.
fest the poultry houses. Whitewash does
not seem to keep them away, especially
the "mites," which are so troublesome,
and recourse must be had to some other
substance. Just here tar is very valuable.
Take an old kettle which is of no use for
other purposes, put in some good tar, and
heat it until it is thin and hot, then. with
whitewash brush, brush into all the cracks
and crevices where the insects "most do
congregate," and they will start off, in
stanter, for the seashore or some other
more congenial abode. Treat the perches
and roosting benches to dose of the
same. When poultry cholera makes its
appearance, if you thoroughly cleanse
the house and treat it as above, with tar
it will generally prevent the spread OF
the disease .-Poultry Journal.

Bundle Bees.

Maurice Thompson, state geologist of
Indiana, and chief of the department Of
natural history in that state. well-known
as literary and scientific writer, relates
in recent report the following interesting
incident: 81 made good old farmer call
me crank the other day when | told
him the reason his clover fields have failed
to bear as much seed as they formerly did.
You don't allow the bundle bees to be
killed on your farm, do you3' l asked.
Yes, sir, l do he cried, 4 make my boys
burn up every plagued nest of them so
supposed 1 replied. And that is why
your clover seed fails you. Bundle bees
make your clover seed You're crankH
he exclaimed, and looked at me as if he
thought was fit subject for the lunatic
asylum. And yet 1t is fact that strong
nest of humble bess, in big clover field,
is worth twenty dollars 10 the owner; for
these insects are the chief agents in fer
tilizing the blossoms, thereby insuring a
heavy crop of seed.

A Change Needed in Orchard
Treatment.


The old stereotyped rule for managing
an orchard was as follows: 'Plant good,
healthy, thrifty, Young trees; cultivate
them thoroughly until old enough to fruit
and then seed to grass" This plan worked
fairly we'll while the country was new, the
soil virgin, and the trees had not the thous
and and one diseases, blights, rusts and
insects to contend with, that they have
| now. Then the trees grew 50 fast and
made so much wood, that they could not
take time to fruit, and had to have the
rampant growth checked by seeding the
ground to grass. But now, since every
orchard pest that ever was created, has
reached us, it is time that the mouldy
old adage was amended as follows: Cui-
tivate the young orchard reasonably well,
| keep it free from borers and other destruc-
tive agencies so far as in your power. I'M
til old enough to fruit. When fruit has
set and developed sufficiently, so you know
it will stay, cultivate the ground most
thoroughly, and thus give the trees
chance to bring the fruit to the highest at
tainable degree of perfection, and also
build up the trees In all their parts by
storing up nutriment in their roots, stems
and branches for a vigorous growth OF
wood and another crop of fruit the next
season.
Forty years of careful observation in
this severe western climate has shown me
that large corp of fruit on trees which
stand in grass without cultivation or
mulching while the crop is maturing)
when followed by a severe winter is GER
tain ruin to that orchard. Even the Iron
clad" Wealthy apple has not withstood
such strain on its vitality here. Every
one familiar with fruit trees out west
knows that such trees as Ben Davis, Jan
net and Dominic are very hardy in the
nursery or young orchard. but when they
have brought heavy crop to maturity UNI
der adverse circumstances, and cold
winter follows, then they bid us good
bve." This is also the case with other
fruit trees. The peach seldom bllghts I'M
| til it has fruited more or less.
The reason why large crop OF fruit
weakens the vitality is very plain. The
tree always natures its seed, even If every
part of it is starved. The demand tor food
at the time when the seeds develop and
mature is exceedingly large and if full ra-
tons are withheld at this time the tree IT,
self is robbed of nutrment and has got 20
suffer.
Supply this needed food in any way you
can. by cultivation, mulching and applica-
ton of mineral fertilizers.-D. ID. Hter IN
